Raised in isolation and pressured to live the life expected of an Alpha, Alex grew up lonely. The one person who ever comforted him without caring about his designation was Nathan - someone Alex came to care for deeply. But after a certain incident, Alex pushed Nathan away coldly, convinced it was the only way to protect him.

Nine years later, Alex unexpectedly reunites with Nathan as a witness for a case he’s been assigned. Alex tries to apologize for the past, but Nathan draws a firm, unshakable line between them.

Then, Alex’s suppressant backfires, causing severe hormonal instability - and Nathan discovers everything.

Despite his distant attitude, Nathan steps in to help. As the two begin a relationship born out of necessity rather than emotion, old feelings resurface, new ones take root, and both men find themselves wavering all over again.
